Pspice Advanced : SMOKE. Different smoke limits per Model

Dami
Dami over 12 years ago

Hi,

 I start with the smoke analysis and I do not manage to create 2 resitances with different properties.

I am used to add Rbreakout resistors and to Edit the Pspice Model in order to give them different DEV (for example 1% and 10%) or TC1.

Now I would like to perform a smoke analysis on my design? is it possible?

The "part" VARIABLES in PSPICE_ELEM library defines all the smoke limits but there are the same for all the resistors....

Thanks

Dam

    Capacitor "C" is ideal component and hence you do not see any temperature parameter, as there will not be any power loss. C_t component from analog.olb, should have temperature parameter as this is modeled with ESR (for smoke analysis only, in simulation it is still ideal C)

    About report:  No, in current version you do not have ability to copy results (BAR etc ). If you copy paste, if would paste just grid data, with some additional details, but not the green/yellow/red bars. Screen capture is only alternate. You may want to file a service request for same.

    Will check on "... i select "Enable PSpice AA support for legacy" with DEVTOL=0, DTEMP=0, DMONTH=0, PSpice A/D show me a histogram with the output which vary between [9.995 and 10.005]. That's Wrong."

    Which release version of PSpice you are currently using?
